9. This ain't your Daddy's Democratic Party.

I used to ridicule without mercy Co-workers who voted Republican for voting against their own Economic Interests.
Now, I feel that what passes for the Democratic Party today is asking me to do the same.

I guess my Momma was right.
She told me to never laugh at an unfortunate,
because someday The Fates would make me stand in their shoes.

I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
